Selecting Wine Glasses, stemware and barware

Historically, colored wine glasses hid
cloudy, dull wines which contained sediment, so by tradition, the hock glass is
often a jewel tone.Vintners have learned to "fine" their
wines. The sight of a deep ruby Pinot Noir, a golden Chardonnay or bubbles rising
in Champagne, can make this an important part of the experience. Held in the light,
there should be no blue or yellow tinge to clear crystal.

dip the glass into warm, soapy water bowl down. Dry carefully. Heat expands and
makes them more fragile. Store upright. With care, they will last for generations.
